Building on our accurate measurement of the $\beta$ direction's asymmetry with respect to decaying polarized ${}^{37}$K [B. Fenker PRL 120 062502], we plan further measurements of the momenta of the recoiling progeny nucleus in coincidence. ${}^{37}$K's decay to its isobaric analog state has similar sensitivity to unknown physics compared to neutron decay, while a nuclear structure feature where...

The nEXO experiment is a proposed next-generation liquid xenon detector to search for neutrino-less double beta decay (0νββ) of 136Xe. The experiment will use a 5-tonne liquid xenon monolithic single-phase time projection chamber enriched to 90% 136Xe. Ionization electrons and scintillation photons from energy deposits in the Xe will be recorded by a segmented anode place and a large SiPM...

Probing electroweak physics at low energies plays an important role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. The exchange of Z bosons between an atom’s electrons and quarks induce an incredibly small atomic transition which can be probed via an atomic parity-violation (APV) experiment. APV measurements are sensitive as searches for leptoquarks and additional neutral gauge bosons...
